Skyrim rubs on a switch. Rdr isn't much younger than that

Well, it's finally happening: a PC port of the first Red Dead Redemption (plus the Undead Nightmare expansion) has been announced, set for release on October 29.

Looks like we no longer have to use emulators to experience RDR1 on PC now (I can only hope it won't be a botched port like GTA IV's PC port).

OH MY GOD?!?!

IT'S ACTUALLY REAL!!! I thought it was the same copium rumors but it's actually happening!

I have missed RDR 1 for so long after I lost my copy. I have been wanting to play it again so incredibly much. Please let it be good, I want to experience that masterpiece again and feel the same thing I felt the first time I entered Mexico at night and Far Away starts playing.

The port is out and it works like a charm. Rather expensive though.

Still, I'm glad to be playing it again. I've missed this game a lot.

I'm thinking about trying something unusual for some extra immersion. Playing on hardcore, with no minimap and no waypoints.

130 hours later, I've 100%ed both the base game (on hardcore) and Undead Nightmare! Except gold medals on the story missions. I've played long enough lol.

Was fun to come back to this. Really missed it.

I decided to bite the bullet and try Read Dead Redemption 2. Never got into GTA 5, but maybe I'll get into RDR 2. Also wanna see if it really is one of the all time greats.

It is. The only similarities it shares with GTA is some of the shooting mechanics, aside from that it's an entirely different genre of game.

Never played 2 but from what I remember of the first one get used to not having a radio it is an unnerving feeling

At least until you get to the part where you cross into Mexico.

I realuzed something while playing. Do you think the people who made The Last of Us Part 2 played this game? I think they did. Mainly because of both games attempts at grounded realism. Particularly with how everything has an animation

TLOU Part 2 started development in 2014 and released only two years after RDR 2. There's not really time for it to have been a significant influence on TLOU. Video Game development is a long process these days.

It's not either game inspired by another, it's just the stuff that became in vogue at the time.

The similarities between the two was just something that hit me while I was looting the first house. Probably the gameplay loop of clearing out all the mooks (with a somewhat similar feel to gunplay and combat minus stealth), slowly and deliberately scavanging the cleared arena for supplies, all with a heavy emphasis on realism (minus not dying after getting shot once) and immersion.
